    Hello,

    We are installing a large cedar Pergola and want to use your product to protect it from graying. We dont want the rough cut appearance so the lumberyard is going to rough cut it then plane the sides to give a 'smoother' appearance. Would we have to use the cleaner before staining since the surface is going to be planed?

    Also, can we avoid the graying wtih TWP with recommended applications? The pergola is going to be in direct sunlight all day long.

    Will any of your brighter product leave brighter spots on a new cedar before it has a stain on it. So I would have a Polk a dot deck. The rail are old wood with two coat of semi transparent but looks solid.

      You would brighten all wood so it is even when done.

    New wood deck built in May. Pressure treated pine. We have HOT HOT HOT 104 degree summers here. Think the wood should be dry enough by September to stain? Do temperatures matter in how fast the chemicals in the wood dry out?

    Hi, would I used Gemini Clean and Brightener with pressure washer, then rinse, then remove splinters with course sandpaper, then use brightener to neutralize? If it gets rained on then I must redo the brightener?

    Then after letting it dry to 15% or drier, it will be ready to stain? I'm in Canada, so use TWP 200?

        Another solid stain so must be sanded to remove.

      You have a solid stain on the deck now. TWP cannot be used over this. You would have to 100% power sand to remove first. After 100% sanded off, you can then clean and brighten and use the TWP 200 Series.

        Most of the stain is literally peeling off...Behr, and could we use a stripper for parts that are adhering well? Thank you.

          A stripper will not remove this solid stain. You will have to sand to remove it.

    I have recently sanding the flooring of my deck. I sanding the railings 2 years ago. I have noticed a film on the sanded flooring, while finishing the rest of the flooring. (#1) Do I need to "Clean" the deck (using your Wood and Deck Cleaner) or can I just use The Wood Brightener? (#2) Do I need to resand the railings?

      Clean and brighten all wood including the rails is the proper way to do the prep.

        (1) do you suggest I resand the railings or just clean, then brighten them?


        (2) the two photos show a film on recently sanded flooring. Guess it is clear I need to apply
        a cleaner, then a brightener on the flooring.. Is this correct?

          Clean and brighten all wood including the rails. No need to sand the rails.

    We're getting ready to stain a new tight knot cedar deck that has been weathering for 11 months. We will use Restore-A-Deck to clean and brighten and then apply a single coat of TWP100 in Dark Oak. We are located in the Pacific NW. If we clean and brighten, what is the longest we can wait before staining without having to re-prep? Ideally we'd plan on waiting 24-48 hours, but are concerned about rain either before or after we stain. Thanks!

    I was planning to do restore deck, cleaner and brightener, but had a rain last night. Should I wait until the deck dries, or is it sill ok on the wet deck?

    If I sand my deck, do I need to apply the restore-a-deck as well? I have a semi-transparent stain on an older deck that is beginning to chip away.

    Hello- can you please help me? My new deck is pressure treated pine, and is about 7 weeks old. HOT weather here in the 90s for a few weeks now. Is the wood okay as is with the TWP 100 series stain? I am confused after I read things on the website. I have a very very good prep wood cleaner at home already, along with a power washer?

    Hello,
    We built this deck in October of 2019 - we are looking to stain and seal it. It is made of AC2 treated pine. Do we need to do any prep work or can we just use the 100 series right away?

      TWP Stains · 06/22/2020
      You have to prep it with the Gemini Restore Kit.

    carl again, bamboo fence, can I use the restore-a-deck kit and then apply TWP 200 or 201 SERIES OIL BASE STAIN. Will this help to make the bamboo look bright again. Should I pressure wash first ?
    the fence 5184 sq ft, How many restore kits and how many gals of TWP 200 or 201 is needed?

    Hi - returning customer. Three pics: after one season pre-wash; after pressure wash; after cleaner and brightener. Uneven coloration throughout. Boards are under 15%. Can I stain this?

    I think I read in the instructions for the brightener that it needs to be washed down with water for 25-30 minutes after using it. Is that a typo? High or low pressure? If the wood is dark in some areas after it dries, but no old stain left, do I reapply the brightener?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 06/19/2020
      It should be rinsed for about 20 minutes when down.

        I stripped and brightened per the instructions, but there are some dark areas on the wood after drying (but no stain left). Do I just reapply the brightene again, or leave it and stain it?

    I have a very neglected deck that I want to restore with the 1500 natural stain. It has turned completely gray with lingering spots of old and quite faded redwood stain. Do I use the stripper/brightener followed by the restore-a-deck kit or will that be redundant? Also, will your product remove the gray or will it need to be sanded?

        Additional Info: Most of the deck is over 20 years old. Some of the deck has been repaired and is only 10 years old. The wood has some minor grooves from being pressured washed too hard and the wood likes to turn black when it rains. Last year we also had the deck treated by a company called Seal Smart to help save it. What do you recommend we do to best prep the deck for staining? Thank you for helping us. We really appreciate it.
